does the car have a turbo on it?grey smoke and plenty of it .oil seal in turbo gone letting oil through to engine instead of air.if no turbo,sounds like head gasket have it compression tested to rule that out cost about £15 .best place to start..were i would start

I think you got a faulty injecter or worse if it's a diesel then the pump maybe faulty
